COMMENTS: Sticky, Gummy Phosphorus
With videotape, with eyewitness testimony and with physical evidence he discovered for himself on the ground, CBS' Allen Pizzey asserted that the Israel Defense Force used shells made of white phosphorus in its attack on the Gaza Strip. "The area is littered with pieces of shrapnel and bits of sticky, gummy material. Rub it and it bursts into flames and emits an acrid smoke." Pizzey told us that the use of phosphorus in civilian areas is a war crime and that the IDF admits firing 200 such shells. Yet the Israelis "deny breaking international law." Pizzey failed to elaborate on Israel's explanation of its innocence.
